Inspired by a thread on rnf (http://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=194914) I'm interested to hear of people's best finds they have made on an npc vendor?

Words of Detachment x 20 (or so) on a highkeep vendor, back when spell research wasn't a flooded market :)

They're meant to be tricky to find for necros to make their L24 pet spell.











































Yeah, I don't vendor much :p

Found a Water Sprinkler of the Forgiven for 19pp just a couple hours ago, pretty decent soloing weapon for my level 16 cleric!

Does Larrikan Mask thread become more or less funny to Taken now that they are a raiding guild that needs recharges?

Sarnak Battlehammer

It's not an awesome weapon but quite good (no stats, just 30/40 ratio). I think it's certainly worth a lot more than 18p, which is for what vendors sell it. I'd have been a fool to pass it up at level 10. It served me well, until dual wield.

More. Because though Taken raids, no one is such a nerd and so deeply immersed in PixelQuet that they would threaten to send packets of death to someone for buying a damn Larrikan's Mask. That's a special variety of neckbeard, only available in TMO apparently.

Oh ok. Sure hope no one buys your puppet strings or assassinates the vendor. That would be terrible.

Lol. Puppet Strings =/= Larrikan's Mask. Even so... Threatening Packets of death over buying an item is hilarious. The fact that you even try to defend it being a reasonable reaction is a bit sad... Stay immersed I guess.

10/10 would read again just for this.

Larr Mask, Bladestopper, and several other items that were left on a vendor. Was happy to grab them before anyone else could. Returned to owner of course though.


couple different potions that I guess person didn't know they could be recharged only had 1 dose left on each but was a nice find. Ring of Shadows uncharged.

Can't even have a fun thread in server chat without the basement dwellers trying to derail it with their deranged trolling.

Sad.

Haven't really used it but it is sat in my bank anyway... thinking of it that way maybe I wasted 20pp!

Best thing I have found and really not even that great was a Tolan's Darkwood Helm. Bought it for about 368pp? and sold it for 500 to someone in EC, so little bit of profit.

Back when people still made cultural armor, I would port out to misty thicket, buy like 20-30 low-medium quality skins off the vendors and turn them into leather padding.

70 or so Low Quality Bear skins and 112 Medium Quality Bear skins... Let's just say I made A LOT of PADDING!

Sold it all fairly quickly to a smith. And that is how I got my Froglok Bonecasters Robe @ lvl 29 (first character, started in April). Nothing impressive but sure was to me.

I used to craft dark elf cultural, I can't remember the guy's name but I had a go-to tailor for leather padding - he did well out of me... and in turn we both did well out of whoever was buying ;)

I just remembered something...

Sometimes I'll find a bunch of soups or sandwiches that somebody took the time to bake on a vendor, and while I admit I will often jump at the opportunity to save my wrist some clicks by buying up and reselling the stuff, it's a real shame that someone just pawned off their baked goods like that, like an unwanted baby left in front of an orphanage. :`(

There are starving children in Odus, for Karana's sake!!

Well I can't recall founding something of significant value - apart from low level gear, pelts and spider silks, but a friend of mine on LIVE have bought Centy Long Sword of a vendor in StoneBrunt for 15plat (thats when they were sold for 5-7k) ;)

P.S. Ahh Centy Long Sword my MOST favorite graphics in the whole game ;)

Mm that's a good one.

DMF was such a shitty camp in Chardok 2.0. Only the mob to Korucust's right dropped it and he dropped it like 10% of the time and was a rare spawn. Horrible camp. Just horrible.

Leatherfoot Raider Skullcap in NFP, checked back a few hours later and it was still there so I bought it. Root net in plane of sky. I found lots of valuable tradeskill materials on live, not much here.

I hear Froovy found lots of Blue Diamonds on vendors.

I'm pretty sure if you are a Halfling and you find a Raider cap on a vendor anywhere but Rivervale it is your duty as a citizen to reclaim it.

My deli had spiral sliced honey glazed ham marked at .29 per lb. I bought 25 - 30 whole hams that day. I returned the next day and they were 2.99 per lb. Yum.
